Zen Addons for SiteOrigin Page Builder

Zen Addons for SiteOrigin Page Builder is a curated set of widget extensions built on the official SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle framework. It adds the practical, everyday widgets most sites actually need, such as tabs, accordions, alert boxes, info boxes, hover cards, video lightboxes, Contact Form 7, and bbPress forms, so you can build richer pages inside SiteOrigin without reaching for a heavier page builder.

Every widget is designed to be clean, accessible, and easy to style. Widgets render with semantic HTML, follow ARIA best practices, and stay out of your way: nothing loads on the front end unless a widget that needs it is actually placed on the page.

Built for the SiteOrigin workflow

Zen Addons plugs directly into Page Builder by SiteOrigin and the SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle. All Zen Addons widgets are grouped under their own „ZASO Widgets“ tab in the widget picker, so they are easy to find and never get lost among the core widgets. You can enable only the widgets you use and leave the rest off.

Where to find your widgets

Zen Addons widgets are SiteOrigin widgets, so they appear in two places:

1. Inside Page Builder, click Add Widget and open the ZASO Widgets tab.
2. Under Plugins > SiteOrigin Widgets, where you can turn individual widgets on or off.

Zen Addons does not add its own top-level admin menu, and the widgets are not listed under Appearance > Widgets, because they are built specifically for the SiteOrigin builder.

Standards

• Semantic, neatly structured HTML.
• Accessible markup following ARIA best practices.
• SEO-friendly output.
• Front-end assets load only on pages where a Zen Addons widget is used.

Requirements

• WordPress 5.5 or later and PHP 7.4 or later.
• Page Builder by SiteOrigin and the SiteOrigin Widgets Bundle (free on WordPress.org). The Widgets Bundle is required because Zen Addons extends its widget framework.
• Contact Form 7 is only needed if you use the Contact Form 7 widget. bbPress is only needed if you use the bbPress widgets.

Language support

• English (en_US)
• English (Australia) (en_AU)

External services

This plugin connects to the DopeThemes website to show a short list of recent DopeThemes posts inside the WordPress dashboard news area, so you can see helpful tutorials and product news.

The request is made only on the main WordPress Dashboard screen. When that screen loads, the plugin fetches the latest posts from https://www.dopethemes.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts and displays the three most recent titles and links. The response is cached for 12 hours, no personal data is sent with the request, and you can permanently dismiss the news from the dashboard.

This service is provided by DopeThemes. Terms of service: https://www.dopethemes.com/terms/ . Privacy policy: https://www.dopethemes.com/privacy-policy/ .

Privacy Policy

Zen Addons does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data from your site or your visitors. The only external request it makes is the optional, dismissible DopeThemes news fetch described in the External services section above, which sends no personal data and is cached for 12 hours.
